DANVILLE — Let’s start off with the Monday Nite Church No-Tap League at Lincoln Lanes. Terry Jones rolled a 682 series which included a 268 — 71 pins over his 197 average.

We have received reports from the Tuesday nite Mutual League at Lincoln Lanes that it has featured a couple of great series the past couple of weeks. Kevin O’Brien rolled a 795 series, but Steve Skimehorn was not far behind with a 782 series with games of 279, 258, and a 245.

Heading to the front part of the Lincoln Center had the Tuesday Nite Go-Getters, with Chris Brookins, Harlie Huckleby, and Tracey Smith all picking up the 3-10 split. Huckleby also knocked out the 5-7, and the 3-5-10 split. Bub Tiffin was able to shoot out the 5-10, and Sue Strong made picking up the 5-7 look easy.

In the Monday Nite League at Bulans, Robin Turner rolled a 631, which included a high game of 256 — 68 pins over her average. Others, 50 or more pins over: Karen Luse 180 (123), and Brent Honn 219 (149).

The Monday Morning Tuesday Ladies League in Westville tells us that Jo-Ann Brooks picked up the 2-7-8.

The Thursday afternoon Senior League is telling us that Houston Key was 64 pins over his average with a 224 game. Allen Taylor shot 113 pins over his series average for a 554 series.

This is another time the USBC no longer recognizes this achievement, but this column will. Stan Harvey, bowled a 203 not once, not twice, but three times, for a 609 series.

Please remember long time Danville bowler Ruth Campbell in your thoughts and prayers. A few weeks back, she had fallen and broke her hip, and she has been in and out of the hospital and nursing home since.

An Alert for all USBC bowlers, most of you should either have or should be getting your USBC card. In the instructions, it says to activate your card.

You do NOT have to actually activate it, only if you want to obtain some of the optional benefits such as coaching, and maybe merchandise at a discounted price.

Please submit all reports before midnight on Mondays. If you need any more info, drop me a note at illianabowling@gmail.com. Check out past articles at http://tucksbowlingforfun.blogspot.com/

Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down.
